For over 50 years Al Tillman, a dedicated diving pioneer,
has worked to make skin
and scuba diving a safe and enjoyable form of recreation for millions
of people world wide.
In this volume, Tillman recounts many of his most spectacular and monumental
events in his journey through the underwater world.
Tillman's first groundbreaking contribution to the field of diving came
in 1954
when he and fellow Los Angeles County employee Bev Morgan successfully
instituted
the world's first organized underwater certification program.
Tillman used this model to work with Neal Hess and John C.Jones to
found the
National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) in 1960.
I Thought I Saw Atlantis will give both divers and non-divers
a look into the
earth's vastunderwater wilderness the way it was seen by early skin
and scuba divers.
It introduces you to men and women who dared to venture beneath the
sea
without any connection to the surface above. This is a story of adventure
and
history that will excite even the most timid individual to seek out
their own Atlantis.
